Defining a research agenda for patient-reported outcomes in surgery: using a Delphi survey of stakeholders.
The authors sought to create a research agenda to help determine future directions and advance cross-disciplinary collaboration on the use of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in surgery. They concluded that the Patient-Reported Outcomes in Surgery Conference research agenda was created using a modified Delphi survey of stakeholders that will help researchers, surgeons, and funders identify crucial areas of future PROs research in surgery.

Comparison of comorbidity scores in predicting surgical outcomes.
The purpose of this study was to compare diagnosis-based and prescription-based comorbidity scores for predicting surgical outcomes. It concluded that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services-Hierarchical Condition Categories had superior performance in predicting surgical outcomes. Prescription-based scores, alone or in addition to diagnosis-based scores, were not better than any diagnosis-based scoring system.
